I’ve started putting into practice the shift of intention towards “Love thy friend as yourself”, and have already experienced its transformational effect on me and the world I see around me. I am eager to take it to the next level, and to connect with the community.
It says we have a choice in choosing the environment, and that’s our only freedom (at least initially). But isn’t my choice of environment also determined by my nature|nurture etc? That is, I was born with a certain inclination towards spirituality, and then was blessed with a good environment in my childhood — doesn’t this predispose me to choose the right environment later, just as someone else would have been predisposed to choose (say) a criminal environment?
